Implant-Supported Dentures in Swanton, OH
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, you have options when it comes to restoring your smile. One such option is implant-supported dentures. Unlike conventional dentures, which can be removed at any moment, implant-supported dentures are secured in place by a series of titanium implant posts inserted directly into the jawbone. The implant posts prevent the dentures from shifting or slipping out of place, which is a concern with conventional dentures.
The dentists at Dental Health Associates in Swanton have years of experience recreating healthy, fully functioning smiles with implant-supported dentures. We pride ourselves on offering the latest and most advanced options in implant dentistry.
No matter what your denture and implant needs are, Dental Health Associates can help.
Am I a Good Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?
You may be a suitable candidate for implant-supported dentures if you:
- Are missing most or all of your teeth in the upper arch, lower arch or both
- Dislike the idea of wearing removable dentures
- Have enough jawbone to support the implant posts
- Are free of serious health conditions that can impair healing
Taking Care of Your Implant-Supported Dentures
One of the benefits of implant-supported dentures is that they are easier to care for than conventional dentures. Since the dentures are affixed onto the implant posts, you won’t have to remove them every night before going to bed. They do not require any special care but should be brushed and flossed like natural teeth. We recommend you avoid biting down on hard foods and objects to avoid chipping or cracking your dentures. You should also avoid grinding or clenching your teeth. Keep up with your six-month dental checkups so we can examine your replacement teeth and monitor your oral health.
